The royal couple have finalized their three-day stay in North America. Will and Kate ended their trip by attending a star-studded Hollywood gala.

Before leaving Los Angeles, Prince William thanked U.S. citizens for their warm welcome in a short speech.

“As this is my last opportunity before we leave this afternoon,” he told the crowd, “I would just say, on behalf of us both, how grateful we are to have been welcomed so warmly in the Golden State and the City of Angels.”

The royal couple began their North American tour on June 30, with an official visit in Canada. During their visit to the country, they were particularly seen in Montreal and Quebec City.

William and Kate were taken to the airport by a special delegation before taking a British Airways plane to return home.
